The Things YOUUUU made up

[Orrë the Wise]

This is a thread where you can explain the things you made up in your writings here at CoG. We've all either improvised on Tolkien's writings or exaggerated altogether from time to time. Nothin wrong with that! Here you can discuss these things in more detail, to give us all a better understanding of them.



Ill go first. Army Counts are tommorrow, but I doubt I will be fighting any battles solely today, so I added them a day in advanced. With them I added a new member of the Dwarven Army- The Mountain Ogres. They are found quite commonly in the Grey Mountains, and a bit rarely in the Ered Luin, Misty Mountains, and Ered Lithui (Northern of Mordor's mountains) by colonies of a few hundred at the most. These creatures are mentioned only once by Tolkien, and it's context usage suggests it was only a myth used by story-tellers. However, I have made them much more than a myth. Since Tolkien never once graced us with any information about the Ogres, I have gladly taken the time to do so in my army thread. They are roughly the size of a Mountain Giant, but appear to be humanish. They have only one eye, giving them the name among men as Cyclopses. If any of you out there have seen the Chronicals of Narnia, then you know what they roughly look like. They carry eneormous swords, just like men, and wear thick layers of armour.

Well, I myself have not made ANYTHING up, but not everything in my armies comes directly from Tolkien. I take things from GW as well, I mean sure it ain't Tolkien but with the little information that there is on Angmar it was necessary. And, in the case of the Dimloki and Karna and such in Harad, again, GW, but I would never do anything that completely contradicts Tolkien.

I have also created the description of the Dimlokhi

They have the shape of a man, although most are disfigured. Scars line their bodies, and from the numerous beatings while on the ground they suffered in life, the sides of their faces have flattened to create an almost hoodlike shape in the style of a cobra. As a tribute to enter the cult, one must have cut their own tongue so that they were in the style of a snakes as well.


And, for the history of the Dimlokhi

Hundreds of years ago, when the city of Karna was flourishing, there lived a cult within the city walls. This cult worshiped snakes above all other things, falling into obsession with them. To show devotion, cult member initiation consisted of cutting your own tongue so that it had a forked kind of look. When having completed a job for the cult, whether it be as simple as gathering information or as complex as assassination, you would be tossed to the ground and your face beaten. The leader of this cult was a master at magick, having found lost scriptures which kept the members alive during these beatings. After many beatings, the face would begin to take on a hood-shape, in style of the favored snake among the cult, the Cobra.

Over time, the inhabitants of Karna grew tired of the Dimlokhi, and one-by-one slaughtered them all. Their master, as had been stated, was a master of magick, and cursed them in his final hour, so that their souls would not pass into the halls of Mandos, but instead stay within this world, to haunt the city forever. In passing over, they gained immense strength, and became fearless. Fo hundreds of years to follow, they murdered anyone who dwelt within the city limits, aside from the patrolling guards, who had entered not into alliance, but into a peace treaty with the Dimlokhi so that they could live while keeping the Dimlokhi secret, and from the outside world.
